Hydroblast Cleaning

Over the decades, Thompson Industrial Services has pushed hydroblast technology forward with tireless research, creativity, and a team approach that combines the knowledge of all of our employees.

This technology gives our technicians the ability to serve our industrial cleaning clients with levels of speed, safety, and thoroughness that are unprecedented and unmatched in our field.

Hydroblast Applications

Our varied hydroblasting approaches provide from 10,000 up to 40,000 PSI of water pressure to accomplish a wide variety of cleaning needs. Some of our common applications include:

Boilers

Heat exchangers

Condensers

Process lines

Ultra-high pressure hydroblasting is also ideal for cutting concrete and metal in environments in which sparks, heat, or excessive dust production are unacceptable.

Standard Hydroblasting

In our standard services, our highly trained technicians use strict safety protocols to clean equipment using hose and shotgun techniques. Technicians undergo extensive programs in both technical and hands-on training with manual hydroblast cleaning tools before putting their skills to work on clients’ equipment, ensuring expert work on every job.

Automated Hydroblasting

The automated hydroblast solutions that our in-house research and development department devises represent the future of industrial cleaning. Most importantly, automated approaches to cleaning boilers, heat exchangers, digesters, and other complex equipment have the benefit of removing human technicians from harm’s way while they control 3-D tools, positioners, and stiff/flex lances remotely. In addition, using robotics often means that a piece of equipment must go offline only briefly for cleaning—or can even remain online throughout the process, saving thousands of dollars in lost production.

Precision hydroblasting is ideal for many tough cleaning jobs—call or email us today to schedule an appointment.
